Reading this book is an experience, one I enjoyed immensely. This story is a brilliantly-crafted narrative. Genre-bending novels can be a feat, and this one pulls it off perfectly. I highly recommend this book! The synopsis doesn’t even do it justice. It deserves all five stars and way more hype.
A Thrilling Start to a New Saga: The Foxglove King (The Nightshade Crown #1) by Hannah F. Whitten
I truly couldn’t put this one down, I was so invested in everything that was happening. The world is complex, the characters are nuanced, and the plot is thrilling. The ending is a satisfying completion of act one of this saga and it leaves me dying to know what happens next.
It will sweep you away and keep you enraptured: Weyward by Emilia Hart

It’s a fumbling, messy, mayhem of idiots and I kind of liked it anyways. (Review of The Island by Natasha Preston)
Reading this is like watching a bunch of bumbling idiots running around like headless chickens. Why were the adults in this story the most dumb, useless, incompetent, clueless, idiots ever? No idea. I kept waiting for the other shoe to drop, that it would come out as a ‘hahaha it’s all a joke’, but it wasn’t. It actually wasn’t a joke. However, if you like a non-stop action, fast-paced, close-quarters, who-dunnit, mayhem of a thriller, you may also find it as fun and engaging as I somehow did.
